Maximize SQL Performance By Integrating SSD Software & Hardware [29862]
Storage Switzerland, Feb 14th, 2013
"Getting the most performance impact from a flash purchase involves more than just buying fast hardware or efficient caching software. Both of these components must work together to maximize their use of processing power thats available.
The hardware certainly must generate as many IOPS as possible to the flash layer, which means an optimal design that includes low latency and high parallelism. But if the hit ratio to the cache is low then the application is going to wait for data to be fetched from the disk layer, wasting those available IOPS. This means CPU cycles must be 'spent' on the software process that decides which data is cache worthy, in order to eliminate cache misses.."

Seeing the Storage Forest through the Flash Trees [29808]
IT Business Edge February 6, 2013
"Too often, the narrative surrounding flash and disk drives in the enterprise veers toward the combative as if flash drive manufacturers are out for nothing less than complete domination of the professional storage market," writes Arthur Cole in "IT Business Edge."
"It seems clear, though, that the vast majority of data centers will continue to use a variety of storage technologies and platforms in an effort to more closely match increasingly varied data loads with underlying physical infrastructure. Even the vaunted 'all-flash data center' that I highlighted last month will most likely cater to specialty data services that require high throughput and support for extremely dynamic data patterns.
Make no mistake, flash will certainly make its presence known in traditional infrastructure, and that will extend to more than just raw speed, says Tintri's Ed Lee. The more virtualized the enterprise becomes, the more it has to deal with highly random I/O requirements..."
